    Welcome! Leave that crap elm rot to enhance the soil, plus it will save you the need to upgrade the hydros.
    Every time I use my splitter I want a kinetic more and more. Can't imagine it'd do well with elm and gum, which would be fine by me as I'll not touch either.

    I like burning elm. I have a good deal of standing dead elm in the pasture to good to let go.

    Welcome. Those kinetics scare me, not much time for figuring out your hands in the wrong spot

    Love your splitter seeing they are made just down the road from me! I've used the 3 point hitch one works like a charm with the log lifter!

    Welcome to the forum DDobbs and have fun splitting that elm! I like the Super splitters too.. They are efficient and take less power to run and are really fast..
